Walkable, well planned and with brilliant public transport networks, Frankfurt is an international city that’s very easy to get around. Deutsch not up to scratch? No problem – almost all locals speak some, if not very good, English. Their frankness is often mistaken for rudeness by visitors, but though Frankfurters might appear gruff or standoffish, really they’re a friendly, fun-loving bunch, and after a drink or two in an Apfelwein tavern or one of the best bars in Frankfurt, you’ll probably agree. Alt-Sachsenhausen is home to a couple of great Apfelwein taverns, but for the most part, the area has a bad rep as a horribly touristy party zone. Locals prefer to avoid it, instead making a beeline to Sachsenhausen, where the atmosphere is considerably less drunken and chaotic. In Frankfurt, public transport doesn’t run all night, and if you don’t want to download a ride-sharing app, you’ll need a taxi to get home in the small hours. These are an easily-spotted beige colour, and you can either phone for one, flag one down or queue at a rank... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #Throwback #December2013 #Travel #Vacation #Trip #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Winter #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Architecture #City #Urban #Christmas #ChristmasTree #Plaza #OpenSpace #PublicSpace #Römerberg #FrankfurtAmMain #Frankfurt #Germany #CentralEurope #Europe (at Römerberg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIP1QCzHa6v/?igshid=1oefsev3asmkb

Right in the middle of Europe, you’ll find the beautiful country of Luxembourg. A landlocked country, it’s full of forests, fairytale castles, and jagged gorges. The capital of the country is also called Luxembourg and is situated to the South of the Country.nThe best way to get around the city of Luxembourg is by foot (particularly in areas of the city such as the Grund where the streets are narrow). As such, it’s best to bring shoes that are comfortable and easy to walk in. To save you hassle, time (and in many cases, money), it's highly recommend purchasing a Visit Luxembourg Pass. There are various different options for the Luxembourg Pass; including family cards and varying lengths of stay cards. The cards can be used for a variety of attractions, as well as for much of the public transport throughout the country... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #Throwback #December2013 #Travel #Vacation #Trip #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Winter #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Architecture #City #Urban #Urbanism #Settlement #UNESCO #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite #BockCasemates #LuxembourgCity #Luxembourg #WesternEurope #Europe (at The Bock Casemates) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIGipx7HLJn/?igshid=qo4jd893ie9k

The Citadel of Dinant, located on a rocky outcrop and accessible both by steps and cable car, offers a spectacular panorama over the Meuse Valley. The first fortifications date back to the 9th century. On these, Vauban built his own castle, which would later be demolished to be replaced with this fortress in 1815. The citadel witnessed heavy fighting between the French and German troops in August 1914. A dedicated space allows visitors to revisit this dramatic page of history. Don't miss the reconstituted air shelter, which collapsed during bombings. A thrilling experience that makes you feel you have been transported in time. Kindly one of the most impressive fortresses in Belgium and enjoy its outstanding view on the Meuse valley. Personally, Dinant is one of my favourite cities in Belgium... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #Throwback #December2013 #Travel #Vacation #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Winter #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #City #Urban #MeuseRiver #Fortress #UNESCO #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite #CitadelleDeDinant #Citadel #Dinant #Namur #Walloon #Belgium #Belgie #Belgique #WesternEurope #Europe (at Citadelle de Dinant) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH538SfnBbG/?igshid=ss0er458tewa

Frankfurt is an international city that’s easy to get around: it’s walkable, but has well planned, reliable public transport, too. You’ll have no trouble getting by with little or no German, as most locals speak at least some; if not very good English. Their honesty and directness is often mistaken for rudeness by visitors, but though Frankfurters might appear gruff or standoffish, they’re a friendly and fun-loving bunch... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips #Throwback #December2013 #Travel #Vacation #Trip #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Winter #Landscape #Architecture #Urban #City #ChristmasTree #Christmas #Rogerberg #Frankfurt #FrankfurtAmMain #Germany #CentralEurope #Europe (at Frankfurt, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1-u06qnM2p/?igshid=1kjgsy6fy9j5w

The Grand Duchy's capital, Luxembourg City, has a fairy-tale quality to its Unesco-listed historic core, perched on a dramatic clifftop. Beyond in the rolling forested hills, a string of beguiling villages clusters beneath stunning medieval castles. Then there’s superb wine tasting in the Moselle Valley and invigorating hiking in the rugged, rocky gorges of the Müllerthal region... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips #Throwback #December2013 #Travel #Vacation #Trip #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Winter #Landscape #Architecture #Urban #City #Settlement #UNESCOWorldHeritage #UNESCO #BockCasemates #LuxembourgCity #Luxembourg #WesternEurope #Europe (at Casemates Luxembourg) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1xhjLMnskB/?igshid=gbviefs972td

The Lion’s Mound (Butte du Lion) and panoramic painting of the Battle of Waterloo (1815) are the main sights to see on a day-trip to the battlefield (Champ de Bataille) from Brussels. The Battlefield of Waterloo and the panoramic painting has been added to the tentative list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites. Travelling from Brussels to Waterloo by bus, use bus W (stop Route de Nivelles) or bus 365 (stop Monument Gordon). Braine-l’Alleud is the closest train station – it is a 3 km walk or short bus ride (W) to the Hameau du Lion... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips #Throwback #December2013 #Travel #Vacation #Trip #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Winter #Landscape #SubUrban #ProductiveLandscape #Agriculture #UNESCOWorldHeritage #UNESCO #LionsMound #ButteDuLion #Waterloo #WalloonBrabant #Belgium #Belgie #Belgique #WesternEurope #Europe (at Lion's Mound) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1npq2yHKBM/?igshid=ea0ixrjfiazp
